I could tell from the pick-ups thread that this is what you were starting...I had done the same a while back but decided to sell that collection (t205) and focus on my HOF rookie thing. It's hard when the material I'm looking for is simply not there and I need something to fill my "collecting crave". But what a beautiful set! Good luck!
BTW, I had never noticed how much the Gardner sticks out as an oddball because of the box on the bottom with his name, etc. I knew there was always something different about it but never noticed until seeing it side-by-side with other T205's.
